Pretty solid take on 2020.

Te silent majority this time might be Republicans who are pissed and done with the current state of the party.

No you wouldn't .... I know you..... You're just saying that because you don't like Trump. No way, you would vote for a socialist!

Historically once authoritarian type govts begin to emerge they very rarely end up being reverted back to democracies. Socialism can be voted out easier than an authoritarian takeover of power.

More like socialism vs. Authoritarian

What has Trump done to be Authoritarian? So you agree Biden will lead America to more socialist. So Trump runs his mouth. Jobs were great and everyone making more money.

That's a very, very dangerous way of thinking Shaggy. You would never be able to vote out socialism once it is voted in. The media would not allow it to come up for another vote.

Millions of illegals would flood through the border. A Republican would never win again if Democrats got what they want

Jobs will be harder to come by with a 28% business tax and $15 hr minimum wage

Removing oversight by firing IGs, firing the prosecutor in charge of SDNY, hinting at the judicial branch judges he believes support him to intervene in his impeachment. Giving Barr who is nothing more than trumps personal attack dog, literally going to the supreme court to fight for FULL presidential immunity.......think about that last one long and hard......the argument the president cant even be investigated for ANYTHING? That leads to very dangerous things when you add that to a vindictive man.

Imagine trump getting pissed at a journalist and locking them up without due process. Then he cant even be investigated......this is how authoritarian regimes take over countries.

Might be less to do with Trump himself but more of what he's creating. The same can be said about the Democrats really. Trump's diehard base in some cases are very authoritarian and want you to follow their ways or you're "Not American". Think about it. It's no better than what the left is doing to some people. They lure unsuspecting people in under the guise that you're being patriotic when you're really just a follower of a cult. As I said, this isn't limited to just Trump's base. You can say people on the left are diehard for socialism and extreme ends of it as well. Personally I advocate for neither socialism nor authoritarianism, and worry about both paths if people keep embracing extremes. Sure some here are fine with divisiveness, but that's the petty disagreement form. We can live with that. It's stuff that starts major conflicts like what we are seeing today that we need to cut out. An authoritarian state would send the military on them and kill anyone who resists and pushes for a change from the system. A socialist nation would be hard to explain. You have one end where the government would become too strong and be authoritarian as well, or it would be so weak the people completely crush it and the US restarts its government under a totally different deal. Both would be terrifying, but choosing to reject extremes as a whole nation in general would avert either solution. Kind of a rant but I feel like people need to cut their hypocrisy and stop acting like one party is the chosen one. Washington founded this country and left office telling that parties would ruin his vision for the nation and sure enough they've been the reason for a lot of issues in our nation through history.
 
What A shame stories like these are. Youll never see the lefties post these or see them mentioned in MSM. Theres alot more. The police,law and order arent the problem. Yes those 4 officers in Minn should be charged and prosecuted for 1st degree murder. This country want survive without law and order.

Sorry admin, there's no moral equivalence between Trump supporters and the Left. I don't see Trump supporters preaching defund the police. Trump supporters didn't send contagious Cov. patients to the weakest population group (nursing homes) killing thousands. I don't see Trump supporters burning down buildings in the name of "justice." I didn't see Trump supporters frame a sitting president for crimes they actually committed. I don't see Trump supporters lust for anarchy. Again, there's no moral equivalence. I don't see Trump supporters perpetuating the "cancel culture" that even Noam Chomsky criticized.
